4 WOMAN'S NERVE.
Mrs. Mary Ryan Refuses to Answer
u Lawyers Question.

There was large crowd in Judge Loeb
renS courtroom Yesterday afternoon when
the case of George Ripley, indicted for
committing adultery with Mrs. Mary Ryan,
better known as Georgia Diamond" an
inmate of First street house of ill-fame,
was called. Ripley, fairly good-looking
man with red mustache and bald head.
sat in an easy position, and occasionally
leaned over and talked with friends. He
was arrested at the instance of his wife last
winter by Sergt. Nelson. The officer who
made the arrest stated that when he went
to the house he found Ripley and Mrs.
Ryan in the same room in an almost COM
plete state of undreSS. Mrs. Ryan. when
placed on the stand looked decidedly I'M
comfortable. She was dressed in a neat
fitting suit of gray, and wore white
failed to cover her blushing face. Some of
the questions asked her she did not answer,
and simply looked down and nervously
pulled the edge of her skirt. To one par
ticularly delicate question she replied that
she did not think that there was anything
that could compel her to answer, and an
SWer she would not. Ripley watched her
nervously, and more than once, when their
eyes met both smiled slightly. At the
conclusion of her testimony the question as
to whether the woman had ever been legally
married to Ryan or not came up and was
discussed at some length, and a continuance
was taken until to-day in order that the
state might obtain further proof of the mar
rage Of MIR. and Mrs. Ryan.

The Police Commission, Not the
Mayor, the Executive.
1t should be understood that while A. A.
Ames was elected mayor of Minneapolis by
a majority of one-ffth of the vote
cast, the state legislature has taken
from him the power which the
people designed to give him. The power
OF signing ordinances or vetoing them is
about all there remains for him to do, save
to serve as an eX-officio member of several
boards which were made up by Republic
can city council. The executive power has
been taken from him and vested in board
of police commissioners, as witness the
following extract prescribing the duties of
the commission:
1t shall be the duty of said board to provide
that at all times of day and night everywhere
within the limits Of said city, and wherever the
jurisdiction of said city shall extend,
that the public peace and order shall be
preserved, crime prevented, offenders
arrested, the rights of person and property
protected and all ordinances and laws in force
in said city duly observed and enforced.
Section Is also reads, "all acts and parts of
acts inconsistent herewith are hereby modi-
fed to conform thereto
In accordance with the above the mayor
has turned over the city government, and
hereafter whatever dissatisfaction may
arise should be placed where it belongs,
upon the shoulders of the police commits
sioners to whom all complaints should be
hereafter addressed.

and its announcement. created broad
smile at police headquarters. The idea
that patrOlman is to be snatched from his
beat to look up case and then returned
seems very much as though the commission
thought ''crime" to be some commodity
done up in package, which an officer need
only be sent after. Heretofore the pres
ence of all crooks and confidence men, and
their doings. have been carefully noted. In
addition to the six detectives there has
been detail of five patrolmen in citizens
clothing who have visited places where
police in uniform and patrol wagons could
not go. The result has been that the GRIM
inal classes have been held more thoroughly
in check than ever before owing to this
system of surveillance, which is the same as
is in vogue in New York and other large
cities. Yesterday was very quiet at police
headquarters. Capt. Buerfening was in
command but gave few orders. Col. Hill
was not detailed to beat as expected, but
was on hand to 20 on duty as patrolman
when ordered.

William Ademar, the gambler, who re-

the district courtroom yesterday and lis
tened calmly to the case against him. He
had been indicted for assault in the second
degree, as had Mel Fitz, but when Fitz was
acquitted Tuesday Ademar Sid he felt
quite hopeful. Numerous witnesses were
sworn in regard to the shooting, but none
were able to state positively that the two men
had shot at each other The jury was out
but few minutes and returned a verdict of
not guilty. There is a peculiar circunl-
stance connected with this case which is not
uninteresting. Some days after the shoot
ing took place it was arranged that both
Fitzand Ademar should plead guilty to shoot
ing inside the city limits and to disorderiy
conduct, and pay fine of $50 each. After
this arrangement had been made Z. D.
O'Brien, of st. Paul, while in Minneapolis,
met Judge Lochren, who is trying the
criminal cases, and during the conversation
stated that Mrs. O'Brien was near the men
when they began shooting and was badly
frightened.
That puts different face on the mat
ter" said Judge Lochren. Il did not know
that outsiders had been in danger, but now
that l know they have, guess we will have
to try those men,"

The annual meeting Of the stockholders
of the Athen@um library was held yester-
day afternoon. The report of the secretary
showed the number of subscribers entitled
to draw books from the library to be S29.
During the past year 25, volumes have
been issued. The total number of volumes
now in the library is IA, $50. Acting under
authority given at the last annual
meeting, the directors sold the library
building to Dexter Richards for $2i, 100.
At the time of sale it was discovered that a
tax title to the property. secured by Oliver
Stewart in 1874, and never presented for
settlement, was yet unpaid. Mr.. Stewart
demanded SIS, 600 for quitclaim deed, but
finally accepted $500. The directors have
paid SIS, $40 on building bonds issued when
their building was erected, leaving S17,-
AGO in bank, of which $4,000 will be used
to pay their subscription to the new library
building. Owing to crowded quarters
there have been but few books purchased
during the past year. The directors have
$4,000 to eXpend for new books next year.
The old board of directors was reelected
for the ensuing term.

A Serious Runaway.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon a
horse attached to light buggy came TEAR

rate. At the corner of Washington avenue
au elderly lady was struck and knocked
down by the frightened animal, which ran
on. but captured near the city hall without
doing further damage. The injured wo-
man was picked up in an lnsensible condi-

The case of Alfred Sandin, a carpenter,
against the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul

injuries received, occupied the attention Of

struck by plank which had become loos-

charges that the company had not used
proper care in providing for the safety of
it's employees. The eompany's defense is

negligence. The case will be concluded to-
